Legislators need to get the message

Cut tax breaks to raise revenue.
The Legislature comes back to town for a special session starting Nov. 28.
They’re taking this extraordinary action to fix the newest, $2 billion budget deficit.

Legislators have two choices:
• They can yield to the wealthiest 1% and cut public safety, public services and higher education. • Or they can stand with the 99% of the rest of us and TAKE THE VOTE to cut billions in tax breaks to raise revenue. We need to create jobs, save the middle class and restore our economy.
See the back of this flier for just 27 tax breaks that could be closed.

CUT TAX BREAKS
27 WAYS TO CUT THE DEFICIT BY CUTTING TAX BREAKS
Here are just 27 tax breaks that six groups propose cutting. The special legislative session could raise $2.3 billion by closing them. That’s more than enough to cover the $2 billion budget deficit. There may be some overlap. WFSE/AFSCME members may not support them all. But we can all agree—cutting tax breaks is better than devastating cuts to public safety, public services and higher education.
